“in the wake of the far-right activists’ murder”
Everyone is far-right to a communist.
Why would she post something like that? In what world is that an appropriate comment? What if she said something similar after 9/11? People who spoke trash about George Floyd got the axe. Why is this situation any different? Do you really want a work colleague and community leader who thinks in these terms? And, by the way, agreee or disagree with Kirk, he was not hateful. He simply had an opinion. Did she ever even listen to him? Sheesh.
I’m so old I remember when communists like her told me that free speech didn’t mean free of consequences
I miss the old-time liberals.
Old-time liberal: I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
Modern liberal: I do not agree with of what you have to say, so I hope you die.
There is no place in school employment for someone who celebrates a school shooting. Period.
Libs are so stupid. Free speech doesn’t mean speech without consequences.
Did they govt fire her? If not she has no case.
I was concerned about the free speech defense when the firings happened. The firing needs to be along the lines of who you want teaching your children. What the legal basis is someone needs to spend some time thinking about. I know this, in all the jobs I had, if I suddenly became famous for something that could bring negative attention to my employer I’d be gone the next day. Also, a fifth-grade teacher friend showed me an email the school board sent to all employees that said if they said anything on social media that was “controversial” they could be fired. The board recommended that everyone delete their social media accounts and make no further posts. So, this school board did not believe their employees had free speech, not if they wanted a job.
She has the reasoning abilities of a spoiled 13 year old. I hope a more mature jury schools her.
I’d like her to keep her job but remove ALL federal funding of EVERY kind, even student loans for that university.
Looks like SuperKaren! Vicious biznatch.
Looks like an AWFL.
One ugly POS.
MTSU sure has changed since the early 70s.
Never trust name - name
What Conservatives have to get across to their political and media friends is that it is a lie, an outright lie, to say Charlie Kirk was, politically “far” right. The entire origin and use of that idea originates on the left with their attempt to slander Charlie Kirk, as if he was some extremist. He was anything but an extremist. Total belief in true free speech and the ability to promote true free speech is not any sort of “extremist” view. And Charlie’s own views on many topics were more main stream than “extremist”.
May I now sue the public schools that fired me for my conservative commentary? Someone let me know when and I’ll get a lawyer. Literally.
It’s not necessarily about free speech. Her posts connect her to the university she works for which can choose not to be associated with murder advocates in its high positions. She should have posted anonymously.

the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation.
Looks like a case she may face?.
She has freedom of speech - she doesn’t have freedom for the consequences of that speech. I have ‘zero sympathy’ for her. Maybe she thinks saying ugly things about conservatives doesn’t count as ‘bad’...
